Answer:

b = -15/2

y = -3x -15/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of the y-intercept can be found from a point and the slope of the line by solving the slope-intercept equation for the intercept.

<h3>intercept</h3>

y = mx + b . . . . . . . equation of a line with slope m and y-intercept b

y -mx = b . . . . . . . . subtract mx from both sides

For the point (x, y) = (-2, -3/2) and slope m = -3, the value of b is ...

b = -3/2 -(-3)(-2) = -3/2 -6

b = -15/2 . . . . . the value of b for this line

<h3>equation of the line</h3>

Then the equation for the line is ...

y = mx +b

y = -3x -15/2

All the numbers that round to 940,000 when rounded to the nearest ten thousand?

timurjin [86]

The required number is 940,000.

It is required to find the solution.

<h3>What is rounded number?</h3>

A number that is easily multiplied, divided, etc., and especially a number that ends in zero.

Solution:

To round a number to the nearest 10,000, check the thousands digit to decide whether to round up or round down. If the thousands are 5000 or more, round up. If they are 4999 or less, round down. 45,000 to the nearest 10,000 is 50,000.

The numbers that round to 940,000 when rounded to the nearest ten thousand is 940,000.

Therefore, the required number is 940,000.

500th term of 24,31,38,45,52

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

This looks like a simple arithmetic series. Each term is 7 greater than the previous term.

Therefore, the Nth term is 17 + 7N.

For example, the first term is 17 + 7*1 = 17 + 7 = 24.

The second term is 17 + 7*2 = 17 + 14 = 31

etc...

And the 500th term is 17 + 7 * 500 = 17 + 3500 = 3517

What is the approximate area of the shaded sector in the circle shown below

jeyben [28]

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a circle is pi*radius^2. But only a diameter is given, so in order to find the radius, you must divide the diameter by 2:

3.6/2 = 1.8

Now, you can plug the radius, 1.8, into the equation pi*radius^2 ( $\pi r^{2}$ ):
